DEATH TO H FISH,
AUG SihguIar Manner in Which a Hall.
htOrm Destroyed Them.

atorm Destroyed Them.
Inc story Of the poisoning of Dawho
Lake. i'll Georgetown County, by .
hall-stornl, as telegraphed, and which
many persons supposed to be "fshy,"
mas been co%rroborated in every par
tlcular by q prominent citizen of
Georgetown. who had Investigated
the matter at the request of General
freely chief of the Signal Service.
A dense mass Of black gum trees
surrounds the lake on all sides. 1t is
well known that the leaves of this
tree are strongly impyegnated with
fannie acid. 1t has also been ascer-
tanned that the bottom of the lake con.
tains a slight deposit of iron. The
poisoning of the water, therefore, is
thus explained. The hail-storm
bruised and filled the lake with
the leaves and small branches
OF the trees; the tanic acid emanat.
ing from which, mingled with the iron
and formed tannatc of iron, causing
the water to turn black rs ink and bit.
ter as quinine, and poisoning the fishes
by thousands.
Some of the people living in the
neighborhood believe that the condi-
ton of the lake is due to a judgment
from God. This lake is in reality a
godsend for many a poor family nea,
by. They get fish from ii the yea,
round. and if it is not replenished soor
will be a Judgment to them, sure
enough.
One species of the fish lnhabiting this
survived the singular disaster, and
that was the mudfish, which buried
in the mud at the bottom and
escaped the effects Of the poison.
The stencil arising from the dead and
fish is described rs fearful.
The thousands of buzsards taking
their departure in the evening for
their roosting places. after a days
least. are described as making q noise
similar to that of an approaching cy.
On each end Of Dawho Lake,
,bout half a mile distant. is q small
AXE. in which numbers of fish also
but which, upon examination,
'how no signs of the hailstorm which
swept over Dawho. This confirms the
,elief that the direct cause of the dis.

great work, and as the church estate
is now worth 800, 100000 there GER
tainly is money enough. Forty-five
years ago Trinity church was built at
an expense of S350,000. Since then
the landed wealth of the church has
increased threefold, and it would now
be no greater task to erect a cathedral
than it was at that time to erect
church. Until this determination be
reached the cathedral will only exist on
paper. The open grounds belonging
to Trinity are in themselves an i'm
mense wealth. Commodore Wander
bilt paid 81 900 900 for st. Johns park,
and most of this went into Trinity's
Golfers, in addition to which there is
st. Paul's church-yard, which is worth
81 100000, and Trinity church-yard,
which is valued at $3,000,000. These
grounds, being no longer used for in
terment, will eventually be required
for business purposes. The church
farm includes $50 acres, or 2,4O0 build
ing lots, covering district which is
now being rapidly occupied by bust
ness. A few years ago it was covered
with houses, but they have to a large
degree given place to stores, and it is
probable that the entire plat will
double in value during the next
decade. The care of this immense es-
tate is entrusted to comptroller
chosen by the corporation, and the of
flee is at present filled by S. V. r.
Cruger, with salary of $4,000. He
has large staff of bookeepers and col
ectors, and the increase in business
has required an enlargement of the Of
fee, which stands in the rear of st.
Paul's church. The lots are leased for
twenty-one years, with privilege of re-
newal at valuation, which naturally in
creases every time lease is renewed.
Among other fine properties owned by
Trinity is Aaron Burr's former resi-
dence, Richmond hill, which included
twenty acres of hill and valley, but is
now leveled and covered with houses.
Under these conditions of rapidly
increasing wealth how appropriate and
how facile it would be for Trinity to
erect the projected cathedrall-Neo
